Hi, I am Strongart, I am a young mathematician in China. I study maths by myself and make some videos to teach commutative algebra、functional analysis and other topics at the internet just like the Khan Academy and MIT open courses.
If you can understand Chinese(中文）, welcome to my Chinese blog:

Hi, I am Strongart, I am a young mathematician in China. I make some videos to teach commutative algebra、functional analysis and other topics at the internet just like the Khan Academy and MIT open courses. Yes, I like teaching maths!
When I was a child, I thought it was wonderful to stand in front of the blackboard and wrote down some maths formulas. Then I began to study maths by myself, I usually imagined I was a teacher and interpreted the textbook aloudly if no others were in the room. When I studied deeply, specailly some professional courses in the mathematical department, I found it was hard to do this, because I could not understand it at my first eyes, so I shut up and tried to digest these books.
Some years later, I have my interpretion at many maths parts, then I find that most of Chinese teacher can not do this job. They just read the book and copy the prove from the book to blackboard, they judge whether a teaching is good just by form, for example whether the blackboard writing is detailed and beautiful. From the NCTU open course, I heard a joke, when a Chinese teacher copy the prove, he turned two pages with careless, but went on continuing!
In fact, when I was in the university, I tried to make some lectures, but nobody could organize it. Now thanks to the internet, I can make some open courses, which can help a lot of Chinese, specially who has a mathematician dream and is not satisfied with their teachers. Yes, I have self-confident to teach maths in a mathematician way, if some Chinese teachers want to improve their teaching, they can treat my lectures as a model. When I teach maths, I could understand some theory deeply and find some new questions to diucussing, so that is also a good thing for me.
Now I have two dreams, one is finding some clever students to attent my courses face to face, just like in the university, then I can do some asking and answering; the other is extending my lectures to all of the world, Chinese input a lot of open courses from the famous universitis, here is return present, but it needs someone to do film translation for English.
